08 August 2015 · ORDO Agency

In the new season the team of "Valmiera basketball club" will perform under a new name - "Valmiera/ORDO". Cooperation with "ORDO GROUP" goes back to "Bronze season" of 2012- 2013. And from season to season such cooperation has become closer, so with a new level the name of the team has been changed and visuals signs updated.

"It will be the fourth season, when "ORDO
GROUP" acts as the general sponsor and long-term strategic partner of "Valmiera
basketball club". "ORDO GROUP" has given us financial stability,
the ability to create a competitive team and develop a training system for
young players. As a result, the agreement on cooperation between "ORDO
GROUP", the City Council of Valmiera and Valmiera children's sports school
was concluded. Significant funds have been invested in this system in order to
ensure the young players the best coaches and living conditions. Based on the
existing successful collaboration with "ORDO GROUP", we decided to go
ahead and have made a decision about a united team name
"Valmiera/ORDO" – Janis Silins, Director of Club Development tells about cooperation with "ORDO GROUP". Along with the new name
of the team, visual signs and logo were updated, the home page was upgraded and
for the new basketball season further updates are expected as well.

According to Mārtiņš Bērziņš, a significant benefit for the club and the team
"Valmiera/ORDO" was the attraction of Ainars Zvirgzdiņš as a head
coach. Ainars Zvirgzdins told us about
preparation of the team for the new season: "At present we are still
in transitional phase, as from the previous line-up there are only four
players, so the team actually needs to create from scratch. There are some
difficulties, but I believe that through joint efforts and professional
attitude of the players we will be worthy opponents for everyone already in the
first matches of the season!"

"We want to get back in the fight for
medals in the Latvian Basketball League and won’t give way to anyone, while the
minimum goal in the Baltic Basketball League, if the format remains the same, is
to take a place in the top eight" –Martins Berzins,
General manager of “BK Valmiera” informed on
team’s aims for next season.
